Firstly the au box is longer so the shifter sits further back and wont line up correctly and you will also need an au manual tail shaft. Secondly the auto flywheel is just tin with holes in it for the torque convertor to bolt to, the manual one is a solid bit of steel.

my opinion is sell the au t5 conversion and get the correct e series one, it is less head aches and the au conversions are harder to come by so it should fetch more coin, e series conversions sell for 3-700 depending on how desperate the seller is,

i actually agree .... less headaches due to shifter position - i bought a whole car for the box ... cost me a tad under $800 but i got a whole running car [not quite as good as me EA wagoon tho lol ] BUT its the OP's call on what they do

Ok not so awesome news, is there any benifits of an au box over the older e series T5on the length issue how much modification needed on the floor? As i have a manual tailshaft to suit box out of an au ute, I'm now chasing pedalbox if anyone knows anyone? Now will an e series box bolt up to au bellhousing? Would I be able to trade a gearbox at the wreckers? Thanks for the feed back glad i haven't pulled anything apart yet!

Can't see that tail shaft being right either... The AU ute is going to be longer than the sedan one because the ute is a longer wheelbase...

Any box will bolt to any bellhousing...

I fitted an AU motor into my manual ED and used the same box and tailshaft, just bought the AU bellhousing so I had all the bolts line up... I know a lot of people say the missing two don't matter but I wasn't going down that route...

Ive since purchased an ed manual, so will the pedal box out of that fit into an ef?Also anyone got a manual interior gearboot for ef? I was looking at some clutches something heavy duty, what sort of brands should i look for and what brands should i avoid?And how high do i have to get the auto car off the ground to remove the box, like knee high ground clearence?Thanks again for the feedback everyone really saving me a lot of hassles! & money
